This is a great summer dish and is brilliant on a barbecue. The fresh crispness of the salad cuts through the richness of the meat. If you want to change it up, beef mince works well with this recipe too.

Instructions

Step 1

Preheat your grill to maximum. Tip the lamb mince into a bowl.

Step 2

Add the cinnamon and cumin, spring onions, garlic and a generous pinch of salt and pepper, then mix the whole lot together thoroughly- I find the best way is to dig your hands in there.

Step 3

Mould the mince mixture into 4 equal-sized sausage shapes around a skewer and place on your grill pan or a baking tray.

Step 4

Grill the koftas for 5 minutes on each side or until well browned and cooked through.

Step 5

Meanwhile, toss the cucumber, tomato, olives and vinegar together in a bowl.

Step 6

Serve your koftas with this chunky salad - and an artistic scattering of mint leaves, if you like.
